Canadian artist Rob Dawson aka Magnovis notches up another fine slice of progressive goodness with Fifth Dimension. This one comes fresh off the back of his superb remix of Pathos by Blufeld and Nikko Mavridis and also follows his fantastic debut last year with Nocturn. Magnovis mindfully crafts music that expresses his infatuation with sound. Each piece is an opportunity to work with people close to him or to explore a new sensation that invokes the desire to groove. He understands that music is a community, and he always intends to bring his values to the soundboard in a way that makes a better experience for listeners and artists alike. Evoking many of the sounds reminiscent of the past, Magnovis keeps striving to move forward with fresh grooves and elemental prowess. Citing Victor Calderone, Guy J., Guy Mantzur, Cid Inc., and Chus & Ceballos as his influences, his listeners wholeheartedly agree that he has carved his own signature sound. It’s these personal touches that make Magnovis’ pieces shine. His tracks are infectious, bold, and, most importantly, uniquely his. Great to have him back for more.

Scottish artist Mendexx has been making waves over at our flagship Bonzai Progressive imprint for the last couple of years now, so it was a natural choice to get him here on BBB and we definitely got it right as he delivers a superb set.

Rogerio Martins is up first on remix duties for I Know Ur There and once again he delivers a super fine slice of groovy deep house music. A formidable presence on the Portuguese electronic music scene, Martins’ mission is to provide quality sounds nurtured from up and coming artists and veterans alike. For over 10 years now this has been a reality and, from time to time, we’re lucky enough to get exquisite sounds from the man himself. Here Martins doesn’t hold back as he unleashes powerful kick drums and noisy distorted hi hats that pack a massive punch. A deep pulsating bassline dominates the low end as beautiful deep house chords rise up from the depths. The vocal come through on the break to give the track a club vibe. The break also features a rich hi string and climaxes with a nice snare roll before those monster kicks returns for the duration. A solid slice form the boss that will not disappoint.

Rick Wade’s double hitter I Know Ur There and Seen Things gets the remix treatment from Piston label boss Rogerio Martins and the prolific Bicycle Corporation. Released back in Spring 2017, these two cuts performed very well indeed and we thought they deserved to be brought to the fore once again. House music hero Rick Wade is revered throughout the electronic music community. His career is an illustrious one, becoming involved in a fledgling house music scene in the mid 80’s. He spent his time working hard, DJing at parties, on radio stations and eventually turning his hand at producing music, a signature sound developed and the rest is history.
